Looks good .. Did you leave it on the car when you did it ? Or took it off ? If you took it off the car was it hard to do?

I was wondering the same thing. It looks awesome! What did you use? I read a couple months ago when you polished your IAC, and was planning on doing the same thing, when I buy a new one. It seems like it would be a lot easier to do.

The next time I see you, I'll give you that master cylinder cover I told you about.

Looks out of place because of the rest of the engine bay. You did a great job though. Hope you get to the valve covers quick and maybe the timing cover?

I left it on the car because I've never removed the upper lid. But I used a palm sander from harbor freight with 80/120 grit to file it down to the metal finish. Its not perfect in the tight places because I was just testing in the large areas. Next I used 400/600/1000 wet sanding paper to smoove out the scratches. Then mother polish to give it that shine. I'm buying a dremel when my next off day come so I can get those hard to reach places.

By all means man, go for it. At least your hands won't blister. I'm just experimenting and so far, its going well
